| FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | 6 |
The net profit of the Budapest Stock Exchange (BSE) for the first three quarters of 2025, which includes the BSE's share of the KELER Group's results, is 3.89 billion HUF
The EBITDA value for the the first three quarters of 2025 was 1 252 million HUF, which is 25% higher than the value achieved in the same period 2024.
The revenues of the Budapest Stock Exchange amounted to 3 220 million HUF in the first three quarters of 2025, which is 17% higher than the revenue generated in the same period of the previous year.
In 2025 trading revenues grew 43% compared to the same period of last year. Issuer fee revenues are 3% higher than in 2024 Q1-Q3, while information services revenues grew 7%.
The average equity market turnover in the first three quarters of 2025 amounted to HUF 17 billion, exceeded the full-year average of HUF 11.8 billion in 2024. Compared to the same period in 2024, the turnover in the first three quarters of this year was nearly 51,6% higher than the HUF 11.2 billion recorded a year earlier.
As of the end of September 2025, the Budapest Stock Exchange lists the securities of 155 issuer companies. During the first three quarters, the shares of one new issuer, Glia Nova, were listed on the Xtend market, while Goodwill Pharma transitioned from the Xtend market to the Standard category of the regulated market. In the debt section listed corporate bonds grew by 279 billion and mortgage bonds grew with 39 billion HUF. The business line generated revenues of HUF 981 million during the first three quarters, representing a 3% increase compared to the Q1-Q3 in 2024.
The information services business line generated HUF 999 million in revenue during the period, which is 7% higher compared to the first three quarters of the previous year.
The result of financial operations amounted to HUF 242 million during the reporting period. This represents a decrease of HUF 16 million compared to the previous year, primarily due to the impact of unrealized exchange rate differences.

In the first three quarters of 2025, the KELER Group achieved a pre-tax profit of HUF 7.33 billion, supported by better-than-expected fee income and interest revenue, as well as savings in operating expenses.
Revenue from core activities amounted to HUF 15.72 billion, with a significant portion of HUF 10,57 billion coming from fees and commission income which overall was HUF 431.8 billion higher than revenue level achieved in the same period of the previous year.
The interest rate differential amounted to HUF 5.14 billion, falling short of the base figure by HUF 209.4 million, primarily due to the decrease in the benchmark interest rat
The costs of the securities depository and clearing house amounted to HUF 8.54 billion in the first three quarters of 2025, exceeding the operating expenses of the same period in the previous year by HUF 1.14 million.

These interim financial statements were prepared in accordance with the IAS 34 Interim Financial Statements standard, so they do not contain all the information presented in the year-end financial statements - in accordance with the IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements standard. This interim financial statement must be read in conjunction with the financial statements for the business year ending 31 December, 2024 (hereinafter the full financial statement). In the following, the additional comments necessary to assess the significant changes in the financial position and performance of the BSE since the last annual financial statements are presented.
During the preparation of the current interim financial statements, the judgments and estimates used by BSE's management, which are applied by BSE's accounting policies, have an impact on the displayed assets, liabilities, income and expenses. There have been no changes in the accounting policies applied by BSE, as well as in the main estimation uncertainties, since the preparation of the last annual financial statements.
These financial statements have been prepared in Hungarian forint (HUF) (the presentation currency), which is also the functional currency of BSE. All financial information presented in HUF has been rounded to the nearest million ("HUF million").
The accounting policies and standards applied in the preparation of the interim financial statements of BSE are the same as those applied in the preparation of its financial statements as at 31 December 2024.
IMPACT OF CHANGES OF IFRSS EFFECTIVE FROM 1 JANUARY 2025 AND THE INTRODUCTION OF NEW STANDARDS ON FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
New and amended standards and interpretations issued by the IASB and adopted by the EU that are effective from the current reporting period:
• Amendments to IAS 21 (The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates: Lack of Exchangeability)
According to the evaluation of the Company, the adoption of the above standards and amendments to existing standards does not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
New or revised standards and Interpretations issued by IASB and adopted by the EU but not yet effective:
According to the evaluation of the Company, the adoption of the above standards and amendments to existing standards does not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
IFRSs adopted by the EU currently do not differ significantly from regulations adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), except for the following new standards, amendments to existing standards and new interpretations that have not yet been adopted in the EU as at the date of disclosure of the financial statements:
The Company is currently in the process of evaluation of the effect of above standards and their modifications.

There were no accounting policy changes in the period.
Share capital and EPS ratios are not affected by the reclassification.
There are no Restatements due to Prior year errors in the present Financial Statements.
IAS 34 requires BSE to publish information on fair value of its assets and liabilities. BÉT currently does not have any significant assets that are to be valued at fair value in the statement of financial position.
The Company measures its financial instruments at amortised cost:
All instruments are included in Level 3 of Fair value measurement, except cash and cash equivalents, which are included in Level 2. Carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value.

| Revenues from other services | 24 | 17 |
| Connection fees, licenses | 24 | 17 |
| Total Revenues | 3 205 | 2 741 |
Trading revenues change primarily as a result of the daily turnover, especially the share section turnover.
The revenues from listed entities are partly related to one-off fees invoiced at the time of listing, and partly related to the listed assets in a given quarter.
Vendor fees are typically invoiced in EUR, so the recorded HUF revenues are partly affected by the exchange rate movements, and partly by the change in quantities.
All income is recognised within the year, or, if the Company recognises income over a given period, on a simple pro rata basis.
According to long-term historical experience, trading revenues bear seasonality, as the summer months (June - August) – mostly in line with holiday periods - generally produce a more restrained turnover on the stock markets compared to other months of the year.
In the case of listing fees from issuers and revenues from the sale of information, BSE did not identify any clear seasonality or any circumstances that would justify seasonality.
Since BSE is not a seasonal business operator, we do not present separate financial information related to seasonality.
The management of BSE has reviewed the entity's activities and operations and, on that basis, has concluded that there are no identifiable separable operating segments whose operating results would be reviewed by the chief operating decision maker of BSE in order to make a decision about resources to be allocated to the segment, since the following criteria are not met:
• Most of the operating expenses cannot be allocated to a specific business activity or specific business contract. Direct and indirect allocation of most expenses to cost centers is not possible. Therefore, no discrete financial information is available.

Total amount of non-repayable grants available under the EDIOP-1.1.7-2017-00001 programme: it was HUF 1,307 million after a budget increase in 2022, with the aim of implementing training and mentoring programmes and providing stock exchange preparation for IPOs for companies identified in the context of the call. The programme and related payments by BSE ended in 2023. The Grantor approved the last settlement in January 2024 and transferred HUF 497 million to BSE.
The mirror project of EDIOP, the "BSE Mentoring Programme in the Central Hungary Region" ("CHR") project targets the same stock exchange development elements by focusing on the central regions. After the budget increase in 2022, the total amount HUF 846,75 million was available for this aim. In 2023, the CHR program also expired, BSE paid all relevant amounts to eligible partners, and the final approval also arrived in March 2025.
There are no unfulfilled conditions and other contingencies attaching to government assistance recognised.

A significant part of trade payables and other current liabilities as of 31 December 2024 is composed of advances received for the project:

The license fees include minor and/or short-term (maximum 1 year) software and device leases. A significant amount of these arise in EUR, thus the rise of the exchange rate has an effect on the higher level of expenses.
Other services include service costs incurred in the ordinary course of business.
Wages and salaries also include accrued bonuses, according to the actual status of KPI-s, and in a proportionate manner.
Under the line of Operating costs of leased office a total of HUF 22 million in credit invoices relating to previous years is recognised in 2025. In accordance with the BSE's accounting policy, this amount is not considered material, therefore, BSE presents the impact in detail in this note. Out of the HUF 22 million, HUF 7 million relates to FY 2024. Accordingly, the operating costs for the first nine months of 2025, without these adjustments, would amount to HUF million 111 instead of HUF million 89, while the operating costs for the first three quarters of 2024 would be HUF million 97 instead of HUF million 102.

According to IAS 36, BSE has to ensure that its assets are carried at no more than their recoverable amount.
The standard addresses the indications on the basis of which an impairment loss may arise. If any of these indications exist, the operator should prepare a formal estimate of the recoverable amount. BÉT's management identified the following fundamental factors, on the basis of which it became necessary to estimate the value of the share owned in the KELER Group as of December 31, 2024:
For the reasons detailed above, BSE deemed it necessary to examine the value of it share in KELER Group on 31 December, 2024. BÉT performed the company valuation based on the discounted cash flow method (DCF). The investment value was determined by forecasting the future cash flows of the KELER group and discounting them to their present value. Based on this, taking into account BSE's ownership share, the value of BSE's shares in the associates was approximately the same as the book value. BSE's management reviewed the assessment and did not identify such differences that would have required the accounting of impairment or the reversal of previous impairment as of December 31, 2024.
BSE also examined the presence of signals on 30 September, 2025, which still existed, there were no changes in them. Since no significant period of time has elapsed, and KELER Group's results for the first three quarters of 2025 differ in a positive direction from the plans used as the basis for the DCF calculation, further impairment accounting is not justified with a high degree of certainty as of 30 September.
Along with 14 other stock exchanges, BSE founded EuroCTP B.V. in 2023. BÉT's share in the company is 0.05%. BSE values the share at fair value through other comprehensive income.

The Company had no significant value of inventory in the period. These assets are not related to the Company's core business. The assets support the daily administrative operation of the Company (stationery and other office related assets).
The amount of Impairment on trade receivables has changed according to the below:
| DESCRIPTION | 30.09.2025 | 31.12.2024 |

Cash and Cash Equivalents contains only the balance of the cash at bank and depository.
Beginning in 2022, the BSE granted housing loans to its employees, a portion of which matures within the year (HUF 2 million) and are presented as part of Trade and other receivables. The part with a maturity of more than a year was shown under Non-current assets as Loans at amortised cost (HUF 21 million).
The fair value of the receivables presented is almost identical to the book value. The above items do not bear interest, with the exception of cash equivalents, which earn interest if deposited for a fixed term.
Below we present the free cash flow statement, which is a cash flow excluding EDIOP and CHR government grant items. The basis of the statement is the statement of cash flows according to IFRS, adjusted by items not defined in IFRS.

BSE's adjusted profit for the first three quarters of 2025, which is made up of profit before taxation, share of the profits of associates, and other correction items (e.g. depreciation, reclassification to investment cash flow), amounts to 1 102 HUF million, and thus 8% higher than the value for the first three quarters of 2024.
The working capital corrections and the tax paid in the relevant period were HUF -209 million, but this also includes the effect of the EDIOP and CHR subsidies, which should be filtered out, as they are not part of normal operations. The net operating cash flow obtained after filtering was HUF 911 million in the relevant period. Investment cash flow without dividends in the same period was HUF 207 million.
The content of the financing cash flow is the lease fees paid in connection with the rented property.
The free cash flow without dividends received (excluding the effects of grants) was HUF 1 007 million in the first three quarters of 2025.

The Company's authorised, issued, called up and fully paid share capital comprises 5,413,481 (at 31.12.2024: 5,413,481) ordinary shares with par value of HUF 100 each. All shares rank pari passu in the event of a winding up. The share capital represents shares held by the following shareholders

The sum of Current service costs and Actuarial gains/losses are included in Operating Expenses, under Personnel Expenses.
The amount of Prepaid revenues at the end of an interim period is necessarily higher than at the end of a financial year, since vendor annual license fees are invoiced at the beginning of the year. Presentation of only the time-proportional part is necessary, therefore the amounts related to the 10th-12th months are shown as Prepaid revenues.
The Accrued expenses include the costs for the relevant period that have not yet been invoiced, as well as time-proportional premiums.
Among Trade payables and other short-term liabilities, we present any unsettled advances for the EDIOP/CHR grant programs, which amounted to HUF 470 million as of 31 December, 2024, and which were fully eliminated as of 31 March 2025.

The Budapest Stock Exchange (BSE) plays a prominent role in the capital financing of domestic companies, and thus closely influences the development of the macroeconomic environment. Economic fundamentals – such as GDP growth, the level of country risk, the inflation rate, the unemployment rate or the volume of household savings – have a direct impact on the willingness of companies to list on the stock exchange, as well as on the investor perception of companies already listed on the stock exchange.
In the event of an unfavorable macroeconomic turn, the willingness of companies to issue shares may decline, which may negatively affect the issuer revenues of the BSE. Although short-term market volatility may even increase trading activity – and thus temporarily increase stock exchange turnover –, persistently negative economic trends may lead to a decrease in investor confidence in the long term, thereby reducing the revenues and profitability of the BSE.
It is also important to highlight the role of foreign institutional investors: in the first three quarters of 2025, they accounted for 62 percent of the spot secondary market equity turnover. In light of this, the deterioration of domestic macroeconomic indicators may have an adverse effect not only on domestic but also on international investor interest, which may also significantly affect the operation of the BSE.
After the results of 2023, gross dividend of HUF 606 309 872 were paid by BSE in the business year 2024 (dividend per share: HUF 112 gross). After the year 2024, the Annual General Meeting of BSE decided to pay a gross dividend of HUF 671 271 644 in 2025 (dividend per share: HUF 124 gross).
Sustainable thinking and ESG (environmental, social, governance) principles play a key role in the business world.
Budapest Stock Exchange Plc. (BSE) has developed its own strategy in this regard, which includes among others:

• Corporate governance aspects (responsible corporate governance, oversight of sustainability processes by management bodies; risk

management, business continuity, protection of trading and related systems, ensuring safe and continuous operation, ensuring statutory compliance) were ranked the highest;
Following the most common global goals cited by stock exchanges and the recommendations of the SSE, BSE sets the following 5 UN global goals in its sustainability activities:
The recommendations are evaluated based on specific indicators, most of which have already been met by BSE.
